The Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO), through its Office for Cooperation and Social Action (OCAS), has once again joined the Cantabria Blood Donor Brotherhood Foundation (HDSC) to promote a solidarity donation day on its campus.
An HDSC mobile unit was installed and a classroom set up where doctors, nurses and health personnel accompanied donors throughout the process. Before each extraction, it was verified that the volunteers met the necessary requirements, thus ensuring safety and hygiene at every step of the day.
The response from the university community was very positive, showing UNEATLANTICO’s collective commitment to solidarity and social welfare. With initiatives such as this, the university reinforces its active role in promoting health and supporting the Cantabrian community, contributing to and raising awareness about the importance of blood and bone marrow donation.
In this sense, it should be remembered that these days are repeated on campus twice each academic year with the aim of reaching a very young audience that will help ensure the generational continuity of donations in the region.
